I really related to Susanna, not only in her mental health struggles, but in her self reflections on those struggles. I just wish the book had been a bit longer/ more in depth, because by the end I felt like the book had just begun.

This requires quite a few content warnings, so I’ll include them below!

This was an intense read. I had to skim over some parts that were triggering. But other parts really drew me in and I finished it off in 2 sittings 😳

I can’t say that the writing itself was particularly engaging, but the content was fascinating! I can’t believe it’s based on a true story either. 3.5/3.75 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
